Abstract

The article presents a contemporary perspective on the analysis of socio-political processes, grounded in the premise that the application of topic modeling through low-code platforms can substantially enhance the quality of research performed by analysts. This enhancement is particularly significant in identifying the pivotal actors and the evolving dynamics within socio-political processes. The authors argue that topic modeling, a relatively novel approach compared to traditional methods, is capable of uncovering relationships and trends that might otherwise remain obscured. In advocating for this approach, the paper proposes an integrated methodology. This methodology is designed to empower researchers in the social sciences, enabling them to effectively utilize these innovative tools. The objective is to deepen their comprehension of the underlying mechanisms that drive socio-political mobilization. To substantiate their argument, the authors present various case studies. These case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of topic modeling in revealing otherwise hidden connections among various actors. Additionally, they illustrate how topic modeling sheds light on the contributions of these actors to the dynamics of mobilization. This approach represents a significant advancement in the field, offering new insights and a more nuanced understanding of complex socio-political landscapes.
